My ipod treated me to a couple of noisy Bell X1 songs this morning, which is always good, followed by The End by Ryan Adams and the Cardinals.
I just have to go off on one for a second about how completely brilliant that song is. If the overuse of adjectives bothers you, look away now.
In fact, the whole of Jacksonville City Nights is amazing, and arguably largely overlooked as the 2nd of the 3 ridiculously good albums he released in 2005. But, The End. What a song. The almost-shouted nostaligia-fuelled vocals, the pedal steel, the drum sound, and the lyrics... I'm tempted to post them. But you'll all hate me.
Ah fuck it. I'm going to do it anyway.
I don't know the sound of my father's voice I don't even know how he says my name But it plays out like a song on a jukebox in a bar In the back of my head till it's weary and mushy* And in the cotton fields out by the house where I was born The leaves burn like effigies of my kin The trains run like snakes through Penacostal pine Filled up with cotton and fine slow gin Oh Jacksonville, how you burn in my soul How you hold all my dreams captive Jacksonville, how you play with my mind Oh my heart goes back, suffocating on the pines In Jacksonville The End, The End, The End
All the cars are lined up on a Saturday night With the sky full of nothing but moon And I lose my reflection in the bottles of wine Till the morning comes down and I ain't nothing but you Now the diner in the morning for a plate of eggs The waitress tries to give me change I say, "Nah, it's cool. Just keep it" I read up my news, I start thinking about her And I wonder if anybody here besides me has got any decent secrets Oh Jacksonville, how you burn in my soul How you hold all my dreams captive Jackson-hell, how you play with my mind Oh my heart goes back, suffocating on the pines In Jacksonville The End, The End, The End
*I always thought this line was 'til it's worrying the sheep'? Anyone know? Weary and Mushy sounds wrong.

and now 'Crush' by Dave Matthews. It's the only vaguely bearable song by them.

Morrissey - Alma Matters
In mind, body and soul Heart and in whole
First Morrissey solo song I have ever heard. Not too shabby, really. Still doesn't compare to his stuff with the Smiths, though.

Track 6. Not named but seems to be a toe-tapping version of 'Be My Husband' by Lisa Hannigan and Damien Rice.
That's all you're getting. It's toe-tapping.

Am playing "Gold" from beginning to end now; so am currently listening to New York, New York. I like it; quite upbeat, ode to a city.
